VOX LYCEI S1 Boys i Track Team For the past two years track and Field activities have greatly progressed at Lisgar under the capable coaching of Mr. Drulard. Much new material has been developed and before long the school will, no doubt, be represented by a team which will not only compete, but also win, Last Hay, I.isgar was represented by a team of twenty in Montreal. at the McGill Track Meet. Here its members made a verv creditable showing, de- feating some of the fastest sprinters from both Ontario and Quebec. Next the annual Indoor Track Meet came along last April, and here our boys again demonstrated their ability. In this meet they were not only success- ful in winning the Senior Relay but also carried off first place in the Senior Sprints. In this connection special mention is due Hugh XYay for his line showing. Again in September a team of twenty-live was sent to Renfrew to compete in the E. O. S. S. A. Meet. As some of the members of last year's team had graduated, Mr. Drulard was forced to recruit new members, many of whom had never taken part in track and Field competition before. Considering this handi- cap, Lisgar did very well indeed. S. G. SLATTICRY-IIIB. Boys , Tennis During the months of September and October. the boys' annual tennis tournament was run off with a fair amount of success. I say with a fair amount of success, for the lack of school courts prevented many players from partici- pating, and this rather detracted from the spirit of competition which is sup- posed to characterize a School Tournament. It is very regrettable that we can not have a school tournament played wholly on school courts. Indeed the running off of the tournament this year was made possible only through the generosity of the Rideau Lawn Tennis Club, and especially of Mr. E. Condon, who provided courts for the tournament finals. Keen competition, though, was evident in the tournament, and out of the fifty odd entrants, the following were the winners: FORM CHAMPION RUNNER-UP 4th, 5th and School A. H. Crowson IVA D. L. Shore IVA 3rd S. Hobart IIIH XY. Snaith IIID lst and 2nd M. Meagher IIB D. Snipper IF In the interscholastic tournament play, Lisgar's team, composed of Hobart, IVay, Shore and Crowson, fared rather disasterously. In the match with our Olebe rivals, Lisgar won only one event out of four. This may be accounted for by the fact that the Glebe team had a much more coherent, smooth-working com- bination play, the result of a team trained on school courts. As this is my final year at Lisgar, let me express the sincere wish that our school may obtain new tennis courts very shortly, and that thus a team may be prepared which will regain Lisgar's lost prestige in this branch of sport. A. H. CROWSON, IV-A.

VOX LYCEI S3 Boys ' Gym. Team The Lisgar Gym Team was this year composed of boys who were much smaller than usual. Size, however, proved to be no obstacle, for at the annual concert the little fellows under Harry Carstens, gave a display, which in skill and finish was quite up to the standard of previous years. Their stunts were quite spectacular. three of them performing the danger- ous Flyaway , the first time that this feat has been accomplished by a collegiate gym team in Ottawa. The team showed, too, what can be accomplished even by youngsters if they practise faithfully, who, by the time they reach the upper forms will, no doubt, be finished gymnasts. H. Q., THA. Boys' Swimming Club ' Honorary P1'rs1'a'c1zt-Mr. Christie. Prcsidcnz'-N. Murray. Vice-P1'c5iu'e11!-G. Slattery. Secretary-L. Smith. Swimming, like most of the other sports in our school, has suffered a slump this year. The main reason for this is the inconvenient hours that are allotted to Lisgar. The first few Saturdays saw several enthusiastic mermen working hard. in the tank, to master speed and the game of water-polo. But now only one or two Lisgar pupils are seen at the Glebe pool on Saturdays. This is not very encouraging to Mr. Christie, our coach, who is trying hard to make swim- ming an active sport in Lisgar. It is quite possible that there will not be any meet this spring unless a greater interest is shown. The meet held on April 20th, 1929, was very successfully carried out under the direction of Mr. Christie, Mr. Drulard, Mr. Campbell and Mr. Fraser of Glebe before a record number of spectators. Eric Blackburn and Douglas Holmes tied for Senior Honours. R. 'lack was winner of the Intermediate Honours but there were only two contestants. No. Junior Champion was decided upon, as the only entry failed to appear. The meet closed with a water-polo match between the two rival schools. which was won by Glebe. The polo team was composed of 141. Edwards, G. Cherry, R. Jack, E. Blackburn, D. Davidson, O. Blythe, H. Brodie. R.
